Overview of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class G400d AMG Line
This Mercedes-Benz G-Class G400d AMG Line (chassis code 3DA-463350) was first registered in March 2022 and is a right hand drive dealer import. It has a 3.0 litre diesel engine, an automatic gearbox and four wheel drive, and it is finished in black. The odometer reads 27,335 km, approximately 16,985 miles. It is offered at USS Fukuoka and carries an overall auction grade of 5 with an interior grade of A, which is a strong result for a car of this type.
For buyers asking whether this Mercedes-Benz G-Class is worth pursuing, the answer starts with the sheet. The only damage recorded is a scratch on the foot step and two light scratch marks on the diagram. The new car service book with warranty booklet is present, and the car has a smart key. Note that the sheet shows the front grille and spare tyre cover wrapped, so those parts are not in factory paint.
The Drive Review
The current W463 generation, launched for the 2019 model year, kept the upright body and ladder frame construction that made the G-Class famous, but brought a far more modern chassis. It has independent front suspension in place of the old solid front axle, which transformed the way it steers and rides on the road. The result is a car that still feels tall and substantial, yet no longer wanders or fights the driver on a fast motorway.
The G400d uses the 3.0 litre inline six diesel, and its appeal is easy to explain. It delivers its torque low in the rev range, so the G-Class pulls with a relaxed, unhurried push rather than the frantic energy of the AMG V8 models. The automatic gearbox is the nine speed unit used across Mercedes at the time, and it suits the engine well. Drive goes to all four wheels through lockable differentials, so the car remains genuinely capable off the road, not just in appearance.
Inside, the car feels modern in the way it is operated but still has the G-Class character: a grab handle on the passenger side of the dashboard, chunky door mechanisms and a very upright seating position. Compared with a modern crossover it is heavier, boxier and less nimble, but that is exactly why people want one. The AMG Line specification adds sportier styling and the AMG steering wheel, which is visible in the photographs.

Factory Features and Equipment
The sheet lists alloy wheels as its sales point, and the photographs show multi spoke alloys fitted. Air conditioning is automatic (AAC). The car has a smart key, and the sheet gives the import type as dealer, meaning an official Mercedes-Benz import. The equipment box on the sheet could not be read reliably, so items such as a sunroof, leather, navigation or airbags are not confirmed from the sheet.
The photographs show a wide twin screen digital display, a flat bottomed AMG steering wheel with multi function controls, a centre console controller, black leather seats with red contrast stitching, and ambient lighting visible in the instrument surround. The rear mounted spare wheel is shown in its cover. The instrument cluster shows an AdBlue indicator, which is consistent with the diesel engine.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
The sheet gives overall grade 5 and interior grade A. The first registration is March 2022 and the odometer shows 27,335 km. The fuel is diesel (軽油), the transmission is CAT (automatic), the drive is 4WD and the steering is on the right. The new car service book with warranty booklet is marked as present, and this is the only service documentation the sheet records. Owner manuals and a spare key are not confirmed on the auction sheet.
Under points to note, the inspector records that the front grille and spare tyre cover are wrapped, meaning they have a vinyl wrap applied. The same section records a smart key. The inspector's report contains one comment: a scratch on the foot step, meaning the side step.
No engine noise, transmission fault, oil or coolant leak, warning light, air conditioning fault, rust, accident repair or interior damage is recorded on the sheet. The registration plate reads Fukuoka 303 mu 4726.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The diagram carries two marks. An A on the left side, around the doors and side step area, indicates a scratch, with no size number given. It may well refer to the foot step scratch in the inspector's report, though the exact panel could not be read with confidence. An A1 on the left rear, around the rear quarter or rear corner, indicates a small scratch. Again, the exact panel cannot be confirmed with certainty.
There are no dents, repair marks, replaced panels, rust or paint faults marked. The photographs show clean, glossy black paintwork with no obvious damage, although they are auction images and cannot replace a close inspection. The front grille and spare wheel cover are wrapped, so a buyer wanting factory finish there should allow for removing the wrap. Overall this is a well kept, low mileage car in very good usable condition, close to collector grade for a modern vehicle, with minor cosmetic marks only.
Interior Condition
The interior is graded A, the top letter on the sheet scale. The photographs show clean black leather seats with red stitching, a tidy dashboard and an unmarked steering wheel. The photographed instrument cluster reads 27335 km, matching the sheet. The sheet records no smoke, odour, seat damage or headlining faults.
Japanese Auction Grades
Auction grades run from 1 to 5 for the body, with 5 being the highest for a nearly new car, and A to D for the interior. This car carries grade 5 with interior A, which means the inspector found very little to criticise.
Model History
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class began in 1979 as a military and utility vehicle developed with Steyr Daimler Puch in Graz, Austria, where it is still built. The original design stayed in production for over 40 years with continual updates. The second generation, internally W463 (often called the W463A), arrived in 2018, with a new chassis, independent front suspension and a modern interior while keeping the classic silhouette. The G400d joined the range with the 3.0 litre diesel six cylinder, offering a more economical alternative to the G500 and the AMG models.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The G-Class has an unusually long, unbroken heritage, and its shape is instantly recognisable. It is hand assembled in small numbers, it keeps its value well, and it enjoys strong demand around the world. Right hand drive dealer imports are less common, and a low mileage example with a service book is the sort of car buyers actively look for. We cannot promise future values, but demand for clean examples has stayed firm.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
On the W463 generation, check that the front independent suspension and steering feel tight with no vibration or clunks, and look for any play in the steering. Confirm that all of the lockable differentials engage cleanly, which is worth testing because they are rarely used. On the diesel, ask about AdBlue system operation and the emissions equipment, and check the service book entries. The large digital screens should work without lag or faults. With this car, look at the foot step and left rear corner marks, and ask about removing the vinyl wrap from the grille and spare tyre cover to see the paint below.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japanese cars are typically well maintained, have verified odometer readings and come with an independent auction inspection. A dealer supplied G-Class with 27,335 km and a service book is the kind of car worth sourcing from Japan.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but remain used vehicles. An auction sheet is an independent condition guide and not a mechanical warranty. Even a low mileage car like this may need servicing or maintenance after purchase. Please note the inspector's points: a scratch on the foot step, small scratch marks on the left side and left rear, and the vinyl wrap on the front grille and spare tyre cover. The equipment box on the sheet could not be read reliably, and a spare key and owner manuals are not confirmed.
